As you may be able to tell, I am against animal abuse and as well as using animals for entertainment and sports. Every once and awhile I really get ticked off and just shake my head in awe and get sick to my stomach at the things people do to animals. Pigeon shoots, which are events where shooters aim at dazed pigeons launched randomly from boxes with the goal of downing the birds within a ring for prizes, is one example of a “sporting event” that is allowed in Pennsylvania which is not only inhumane but makes the state look like some type of third-world nation.
However, legislation has been introduced that will stop these pigeon shoots. It will also end barbaric events like the recent turkey shoot where live turkeys had their feet tied to bales of hay and were shot with arrows.
If you live in Pennsylvania, please contact your representative via the U.S. Humane Society’s advocacy feature and have them support this legislation.
